So I stripped 2 of the 7 bolts that hold the turn outlet on. I've tried ez out, some erwin bolt extractors, lots of pb, vise grips, and heat with a handheld propane torch. I think I need to get some big heat on them to get them red hot. My question is, do I need to worry about the bearings in the turbo if I heat those bolts where they are glowing? I understand the turbine get's very hot while driving but it has oil to cool then. Anybody have any recommendations? Thanks

Got them out today. Took it to the machine shop at work where they could put some real heat to it. So I hope it was ok. Too late now if not. Now I can finally get back to putting things back together

Nice. Doubtful that heating exhaust outlet bolts is gonna cause the turbo bearings any issue.
